Finally a Good Hunt

[Silvermonkey]

It's been a while since I've dug up anything " post worthy". Today turned out to be the exception. It was a beautiful Fall afternoon here in New England. I was able to wrap up work early, and headed out to a section of woods that has produced some colonial finds in the past.

The first decent signal turned out to be a rather fancy buckle. It's not a shoe buckle...maybe a knee buckle or hat buckle? Maybe a some kind or ornate tack buckle? I'm really not sure. If anyone has an opinion, please feel free to share.



The only other highlight of the day was a 1902 Barber dime. It's not in the greatest shape, but I'll take it



Finally...I did manage one LC on a separate recent hunt that I thought others would like to see. It's a KG II in not horrible condition.



That's all for now. Good hunting to all, and take advantage of the good weather when you can!

Great finds! When it comes to metal detecting, how fortunate are we to live in this state?

 

[Silvermonkey]

Extremely fortunate Jeff!

Great finds - congrats !

Great looking buckle, top shelf material.

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

What a beautiful looking buckle, love to see a pic of it all cleaned up.

Makes it even sweeter that Cru confirmed it's late 17thc to very early 18thc...wow!

 

[Silvermonkey]

I agree...big thanks to Crusader and toasted for estimating the age of this buckle.! Here are some extra pics after I did some cleaning.



Best to all.

I had to check, as my memory is not as good as it used to be & although I knew it was 17th C, I was wrong to think late, as it actually may cross over into the 16th C!!!
